Outside In

We value and actively support talented science communicators from outside of our university, whose skills and imagination inspire our staff and students. Here are some of the people we have worked with. These amazing bunch include scientists, artists, designers, communicators, and technologists, all of whom are excited by the possibilities of sharing ideas.

Industry

A crucial strategic driver in our #SciComm work is partnership with industry. Over the years, we have worked with some of the world's leading organizartion in science, technology, the arts, and we have found common ground with organizations like Cancer Research UK, Siemens, the Museum of Science and Industry, and many more, all of whom have a deep commitment to making science communication and public engagement a central pillar of the business of innovation.
